Amanda gasped, "What am I looking at here? I- I'm using my enhanced eyesight to focus down, but... it's like a fractal, just this endless pattern of shapes and colors I can't make heads or tails of. The more detail I try to take in the more there is to see. It's just... it's all a little elaborate for a lightshow, right?"

The goddess answered, "Well, it's a little more than a lightshow, dearie. What your divine eyes are letting you see is a glimpse into, well, everything."

"Everything?"

"Imagine a universe, all the stars and galaxies and clusters, spiralling outwards for trillions of lightyears in every direction imaginable. Now, try zooming out from there, out til the entire universe is just a single point. Zoom out further, imagining that universe as just a fragment of a molecule in a grain of sand, a proton in a beautiful array, a universe made of universes."

"So a multiverse."

"You could call it that. Then imagine that 'multiverse' as a drop of water in the ocean on a planet in a new universe made of 'multiverses'. What would you call that?"

Amanda shook her head. "I don't like where you're going with this." "Spiral outwards. Collections of realities, their timelines and histories and possibilities and alternates, collections of the collections of the collections, an infinite recurssion of recurssions, of infinite detail and size untellable."

"... then where does it end? If what you're saying is true, and that's what this is, how does it end?"

"It doesn't. It goes onwards and outwards and inwards forever and ever. Your eyes could focus on that spot for trillions of years and you'd never see an omniverse, nevermind a universe. Everything imaginable, everything unimaginable, the concepts and the rules and the ideas, the goddesses high and low, all in this. In fewer words, Everything."

"But... where are we then? If we exist, then-"

Angela laughed. "Oh, that's not the everything we're in. This is a totally unique everything, almost no overlap! I'm sure right now there's quite powerful goddesses milling about in it, maybe a few might even have realized by now they've existed for all of two minutes."

"You can't seriously expect me to be able to get my head around this, this is, this is..."

"Quite a lot, I know. I show it to you only to make a point. This is what we goddesses do. We create. You may not think of yourself as such, but you are a goddess nonetheless. When you open your mind up to this idea... oh, I can already see all the wonderful things you can accomplish."

"... all the wonderful things..." Amanda whispered.

"You already have the power within you to do almost anything you want, sweetie. The truth is, you've already drawn on your divine essence a lot within your work. Have you ever wondered why your probes and off-planet nanomining bots always seem to find the exact blend of materials you need for your work? It's because your divine power makes it so. You aren't bound by the rules of the universe. The second law is just a suggestion. All you have to do is direct your power in the right way, and you can create anything you want."

"... anything I want..."

"It might take you a long time to accept my words, dear inventor. It might take you longer to really understand what they mean. But you will someday, and when you do it will be oh, so wonderful."
